From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canary

The Canary (Serinus canaria) sometimes called the Island Canary, Wild Canary or Atlantic Canary is a small songbird which is a member of the finch family.

This bird is native to Madeira and the Canary Islands. The bird was named after the Canary Islands, not the other way around; "Canary" is derived from the Latin canaria, "of the dogs", referring to the numerous wild dogs that inhabited the islands.

Its habitat is semi-open areas such as orchards and copses, where it nests in bushes or trees.

The wild bird is 12.5 to 13.5 cm long, yellow-green, with streaking on its back. It is larger, longer and less contrasted than its relative the Serin, and has more grey and brown in its plumage.

The song is a silvery twittering like the Goldfinch.

very cute, the frame is not needed to my opinion. Ori

Hi Joao Eduardo!
I have no opinion on the frame, but I do like the image even though the bird is so small in the frame. I guess it's because of the contrast between the main subject and the background and exceptionally good light. The exposure is excellent but I think that cropping the picture on the bottom to remove the lowest branch could help. Congratulations,
Mark

Estas duas fotos estão ótimas em termos de composição, nitidez (até se percebe um fio que pode ser de uma teia de aranha logo abaixo do canário) e extremo cuidado com a luz (a que horas vc fotografou ? na sua nota vc diz que foi cedo, mas já havia sol, creio.
parabens de novo e bem vindo ao TN.
abraço'Taba

Hi Joao

Beautiful! Love the light in this shot. Just wonderful to view. Thank you!

Oi João
Sei como é difícil fotografar pássaros. Ficou excelente! A composição ficou muito bonita! Além de tudo, o canto do canário é uma beleza. Pena não termos som.
Um abraço.

João, este canário está ainda mais bonito. A luz esta perfeita e o fundo desfocado destaca o bichinho de maneira belíssima! Parabéns!
abraço,

Bonjour Joao
Très belle composition, les couleurs et la netteté sont parfaites. La lumière et l'environnement en font une superbe photo. J'aime beaucoup la pose de l'oiseau sur cette branche ainsi que le beau BG.

Félicitation et bonne journée.....JP

Joao,
Has nothing to do with Serinus. This is a native Brazilian bird - Sicalis flaveola.
